Excellent episode. Every bit of it. Clear illustration of the tension between the Queen and the PM, and the hamstrung role the monarch plays in politics. I only wish Gillian Anderson could convey her role better. In my view, she doesn't work. I see Gillian Anderson, not Margaret Thatcher. I hear the actor, not the PM, even if the words themselves are Thatcher. Nice scene before Andrew's wedding, with the spoiled royals and the "fringe" insult. Poignant scenes with Martin and Michael Shea. I need to read one of his books.
